SteveG(AudioMasters) Apr 2, 2010 4:34 PM (in response to Mark Branch)Sorry I can only discuss this in a 'formal way which may or may not help'. So I don't think I'll bother - just like everybody else won't, considering what you've said about the forum elsewhere.

Mark Branch Apr 2, 2010 7:28 PM (in response to SteveG(AudioMasters))yea, no that wouldn't help.
you were better off ignoring this pertinent question as you have done for the past few days, continue on, you're help is not needed here. I was talking to people who are actually willing to help, who are few and far between when it comes to Audition forums on the internet.
Don't get insulted, it's just the truth. Have you visited ableton, cubase, pro-tools etc... forums lately? It's a lot different, there's alot more helpful people and active discussions.
People on Audition forums either want to guard what they think is there "sacred knowledge" on the product, or they simply don't want to discuss something in a way that might make it appear that they're not complete experts, they're worried about their net rep. It's truly pitiful how insecure the internet audition experts are. They help only when they can appear as an all knowing audition entity and will not participate if they think their lack of complete knowledge in a specific area will be exposed. Too many Audition users are uptight and/or snooty when there's no reason to be, they're not that knowledgable, I'm sure as a beginner I've taught some of the experts a thing or two. The reason there's such a lack new users on the forums is because they're turned off by the attitude and uptight atmosphere of the "experts" here and at audiomasters.
It seems there's not much middle ground when it comes to Audition users, there's the uptight snooty crowd who want to think they know more then they actually do and therefore only participate when they can appear as expert who speaks above peoples heads, and then there's the beginners on forums like homerecording where the users are asking questions so basic they don't really warrant an answer. This leads to a void in actual discussion about the program, it's features and it's different uses.
This program should be competing with pro-tools, how can a program that takes so long to do a mixdown which sounds inferior be so much less popular, especially when it comes with features and effects that you have to pay thousands of dollars extra for with pro-fools?
I'm obviously touching on key issues here regarding it's failure to gain market share, if I had the time I truly should be hired as a marketing executive by Adobe, I could really help it make an impact with Audition instead of just relying solely on radio stations for any type of real profit, which could in turn hinder it's development if that market wants to keep it relatively unchanged.
Hell, I think even remember reading a thread where you said you didn't want to have upgraded midi-faculties and that you were partly responsible for this, midi is a powerful tool and while I don't mind it being hidden somewhat, an upgrade in this area would make a huge difference in helping the company sell the product as well as an upgrade in dealing with loop matching (which is possible but takes a bit more time then other programs).
I think many of the so-called "experts" with audition are, unfortunately, these conservative types who are opposed to any type of change even if for the better.
